REPORT FOR ACTION ActiveTO Next Steps for 2021: Supplementary Report Date: April 6, 2021 To: City Council From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Ward(s) affected or All SUMMARY Throughout 2020, the City of Toronto's Transportation Services Division introduced a variety of COVID-19 response programs in consultation with the Medical Officer of Health to accommodate the need for residents to be outside of their homes while physical distancing. These programs, including ActiveTO, transformed Toronto's streets to support the city during the first summer of the pandemic.

This set of programs enabled the largest expansion of cycling infrastructure in the City's history and supported thousands of safe cycling and walking trips to essential services and recreation for mental and physical health. On March 23, 2021, Infrastructure and Environment Committee (IEC) endorsed the recommendations of IE 20.12 ActiveTO - Lessons Learned from 2020 and Next Steps for 2021, and requested that (1) the General Manager, Transportation Services report directly to the April 7 and 8, 2021 City Council meeting on the following: a. opportunities to accommodate Lake Shore Boulevard West ActiveTO partial or full closures on select weekends or consider alternate ActiveTO installations, similar to Bayview Avenue; b. opportunities for additional ActiveTO locations, including on the Exhibition Place grounds; and c. opportunities to accelerate traffic-calming in local neighbourhoods through the refocused efforts mentioned in the report, and creating enhanced Quiet Streets, based on lessons learned in 2020, as well as opportunities for a Quiet Neighbourhoods approach where appropriate.

Gardiner Lake Shore Corridor Technical Report
TECHNICAL BRIEFING Gardiner/Lake Shore Corridor Gardiner/Lake Shore Corridor Study Team for the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation July 15, 2004 July 15, 2004 Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation Attn: Mr. Marc Hewitt, Vice President, Planning Dear Mr. Hewitt: We are pleased to forward to you the results of our comprehensive review of the Gardiner/Lake Shore Corridor. Since its completion in 1966, the impact of the elevated Gardiner Expressway on the quality of the city has been a matter of concern. As Toronto, like all waterfront cities, finds its future well-being strongly dependent on realizing the potential of its greatest natural asset, addressing this corridor takes on increasing significance. Certainly, a resolution to the challenges posed by the current design of the corridor is fundamental to waterfront revitalization. Action is a matter of some urgency. Every year, significant new impediments to economic solutions to the redesign of the corridor, in the form of new development projects, are planned or constructed. These new projects increasingly foreclose solutions and implementation strategies to the corridor itself. New York, Boston and San Francisco are only a few of several premier world cities which have addressed the problem of elevated expressway systems. In each case, removing such systems has proven an economic catalyst for revitalization. The presentation of such cities is now clearly understood to be an essential aspect of economic development. Toronto as Canada’s Principal World City, cannot afford inaction. The Gardiner/Lake Shore Corridor Study Group assembled to explore this matter was comprised of some of Canada’s most renowned urban designers, transportation consultants, experts in modeling and simulation, and cost and implementation consultants; as well as world experts experienced in comparable projects.

STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Pedestrian Safety Review – Spadina Avenue Date: October 13, 2015 To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District Wards: Trinity-Spadina, Ward 20 Reference Ts2015203te.top.doc Number: SUMMARY As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Spadina Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required. At the June 16, 2015 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council, Transportation Services was directed to undertake a pedestrian safety review on Spadina Avenue, between Lake Shore Boulevard West and the Metrolinx rail corridor, and advise on the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossing on the south side of the Bremner Boulevard/Fort York Boulevard intersection, as well as any other safety measures. Transportation Services does not support the installation of a pedestrian crossing on the south side of the Spadina Avenue and Bremner Boulevard/Fort York Boulevard intersection, based on the negative impacts on the intersection capacity that will result. The City of Toronto's policy requires that pedestrian crossings not be permitted where they will conflict with dual turn lanes at an intersection. RECOMMENDATIONS Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District recommends that: 1. City Council deny the introduction of a pedestrian crossing on the south side of Spadina Avenue at the intersection with Bremner Boulevard/Fort York Boulevard. Pedestrian Safety Review – Spadina Ave. 1 Financial Impact There are no financial implications to the report.
